The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has said it must rescue Ogun workers from some alleged anti-labour practices of the state governor, Mr Ibikunle Amosun.
Mr Ayuba Wabba, the NLC President, made the position of the congress known in a statement on Friday night in Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that there has been a confrontation between the state governor and the leadership of NLC over non-payment of workers’ salaries and arrears and the recent sack of the NLC state chairman by the governor.
The NLC leadership also accused Amosun of non-remittance of statutory deductions from workers’ salaries and his refusal to pay gratuities of retired state and local government workers since 2013.
Wabba said NLC was prepared for a showdown with the governor if attempts were made to “disgrace the NLC” during its rescheduled March 5, protest in the state, as reportedly threatened by him.
He said the decision to ‘confront and tackle’ Amosun had already been taken by the NLC at its 12th National Delegates Conference and that there was no going back on it.
“The leadership of the NLC has taken cognisance of a statement credited to the Gov. of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun, where he threatened to disgrace the leadership of the NLC if the Congress insists on embarking on a protest scheduled for Tuesday March 5, 2019 in Ogun State.
“This was reported by Premium Times on 1st March 2019 and other platforms. Our position is that The Nigeria Labour Congress has taken note of the threat by Governor Ibikunle Amosun.
“But we want to assure him that his threats will not deter us from defending the interest of workers in Ogun State whose rights he has been trampling upon.
” This is especially on the following issues: the non-remittance of statutory deductions from workers’ salaries for pensions, cooperative, ileya, Christmas etc. over a period of one hundred and five (105) months,” he said.
He said that Amosun had refused to pay salary arrears of workers at the Tai Solarin College of Education, according to him, which has accumulated for the past ten years and now grosses to a financial liability of about N9 billion.
“To make matters worse, Governor Amosun sacked the Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress from his employment for standing firm in the defence of the rights of workers in Ogun State.
“The issues we have highlighted are too grievous to be swept under the carpet, therefore, the decision of the 12th National Delegates Conference of the NLC to confront and engage Governor Amosun will be carried out to the letter on Tuesday, March 5, 2019.
“We are not unmindful of the fact that even Amosun’s political party has complained of his penchant to violently disgrace other spheres of leadership outside his control and sometimes beyond him.
“We are not unmindful of the fact that Governor Amosun’s hostility to Nigerian workers is primarily a transfer of aggression"
” Our confidence stems from the protection and guarantees provided by Section 40 of the 1999 Constitution, which gives workers and indeed all Nigerians the freedom to peaceful assembly and protest,” he said.
While insiting on the scheduled protest, Wabba added that “All that the law requires us to do is to inform the police and relevant security agencies.
“This we have done. We are ready to peacefully protest the grievous mistreatment of our workers in the hands of Governor Ibikunle Amosun on 5th March 2019.
“We want to warn Governor Amosun that we will hold him personally responsible for any harm that comes to any worker during our protest on March 5, 2019.
“We want to remind Governor Amosun that he has already trampled workers on the ground and those who are down need fear no fall.
“We wish to alert our security agencies to Governor Amosun’s resort to violent threats.
“We assure him that his immunity cover will soon be removed and he must be ready to answer for his crimes against workers.
“The NLC can assure Ibikunle Amosun that we will continue to engage him even after he would have been sworn in as a Senator in Abuja.
“We wish to state that we unequivocally stand with the press statement recently released by our state council on this issue.
“We urge all our state councils especially those from the contiguous states to Ogun State – Lagos, Oyo, Osun states who are already fully mobilised for the protest not to be sacred one bit by the threats by Governor Ibikunle Amosun. We have dared and won worse tyrants,” Wabba said.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/we-must-rescue-ogun-workers-from-amosun-nlc-president/amp/ I support the stance of the NLC. Amosu has used greed to ruin the good name he made during his first tenure . My parents live in ijebu one of the most deprived area suffering from the neglect of his administration, even those places (Abeokuta, Sango-ota, Agbara etc) that benefitted from his infrastructural projects are lamenting due to abandonment. This remittance issue is a very complicated thing for the state civil servants. I guess that's why he ran to the senate, so that immunity would deter the incoming government from probing him . I sincerely hope our people would choose GNI over Triple A and PDP (those ones are not even serious) 1 Like |

This is nothing but a political charade organized by Oshiomole. Amosun is not oweing salary but he owes more than salary. Many ppl loves saving n savings taking difrent forms. U might decided to collect ur full salary and do traditional method of savings called ajo, Isuzu etc. Or u do cooperative thrift savings which will be removed bfre ur balance is sent to bank. As I am I joined service in 2006 n I av bin saving just to ensure I studied. I started cooperatives with 4k from salary of 7k as a junior worker messenger den. I increased my cooperative to 32k just to ensure I further my education to be in a senior level. Amosun deducted this fr 26 months without enabling me get loan to do whatever I needed it for. Also, there is embargo on it that one can only increase deduction but one cannot reduce it. No Governor have right to delve hands into workers deduction because they decided to save it for whatever they needed it for. Amosun has done his best as a Govnor in moving Ogun state forward n kudos to him for that. But he sudnt use my salary deduction for d improvement of the state. My question to u now is can u work for govt with peanut as take home while one govnor spends ur deducted savings? 1 Like |

If they are owning workers deduction from several months and they didn't pay and the governor is using it to sponsor his preferred candidates, or someone that collected 10,000 naira from unemployed youth they wrote several exams for over a year new, they are still waiting for the list or a sitting governor that sacked NLC chairman of a state because of workers protest, so everything is politically motivated.

Could it be that the 'fight' is truly political considering the recent fisticuffs among the bigwigs in political scene in the state.

Good move, Amosun's disregard for worker's welfare is beyond imaginations. I don't know what gives him the confidence that he can leave office without paying workers their money.
Taking pictures with the president and trying to form padi with Buhari wouldn't save him. Amosun must pay Ogun workers their money. 8 years cooperative savings? Amosun made sure the workers couldn't opt out, what this means is that most workers who are members of the cooperative have been receiving half pay or less for 8 yrs, the remaining are in cooperative wallet which Amosun has used in building a mansion in Ibarra GRA.
Amosun's fake showoff relationship with the president will not save him, the only thing that can save him from EFCC is if he offsets all his debts, the evidence against him are enormous even Mr. President will not intervene.
Amosun will be jailed and his mansion sealed off. Mark my words. 1 Like |
